Yes, ofcourse, you are right.

Quick question: what does Spanish MS Windows say?  For instance, when you try to delete a file.  Or when it confirms any action.

From what I remember, when you are referring to a mixed crowd of males and females, you use "ellos".  So, the masculine form becomes the gender neutral default, so to speak.  I guess I assumed this was also the case when you are addressing a single person of unknown gender.  But I guess not.
